“Because of my study abroad experience, I’ve been introduced to the world outside of the U.S. and I love it! I never thought of living outside of the U.S., but I’m making it a goal of mine.”

--Tiffany, Business/Spanish major

“Before I left for London and my backpacking trip through Europe I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. However, after seven months abroad, I came back to the states with a better knowledge of who I am and what options are available after graduation. In September, I plan to continue my travels abroad in the Czech Republic, teaching English so that I may continue my own education abroad. “

--Claire, Political Science Major

“Going abroad altered my overall perspective on life. By going abroad, I have gained a mew set of eyes. My future plans have also changed. I am now aware of my passion for travel and I am planning to teach English abroad later this year.”

--Matt, Business/Psychology major

“I think one of the most important things I learned by studying in London is that even if you study in an English speaking country you come into contact with many more cultural differences than you would expect. I learned the most about what other cultures think of Americans and it was a really eye-opening experience that will unavoidably alter the way I look at America’s relationship to the rest of the world.”

--Trisha, English Writing major

“I became interested in learning languages and have since pursued Spanish and French. As a consequence, I will be [in school] next year on a FLAS fellowship to begin studying Italian. I learned that even English speaking countries can be very different than our own. I learned how to live in many different European countries. I learned who I was and where my goals will take me in the next few years.”

--Jeffrey, History/Anthropology major
